Foundation of an Open Access Journal for German Media Didactics

该项目的目的是将自2002年以来以印刷出版物形式出版的《德国参考文献》(SDD)中的AG Medien年鉴转换为开放获取期刊Midu(德国文学和语言课程中的Medien im Deutschunterricht/Media)。因此，该基础是一个开放式期刊系统(OJS)实体，该实体将在Köln大学设立，以支持今后数字出版领域的其他项目。新的E-Journal Midu将是一个在德国媒体教育学领域进行理论和实证研究的开放和全球访问的论坛。这将使研究贡献更容易找到，范围更广，还将建立更强大的跨学科网络。更重要的是，数字平台为更充分地将媒体作为研究对象提供了先决条件，例如通过将音频和视频文件整合到杂志的文章中。因此，将通过弥渡介绍一个多模式学术写作实验形式的论坛。网络期刊的质量将通过双盲审查制度、编辑审查制度和开放审查制度相结合来保证。Midu计划作为一个试点项目，旨在维持和促进德国语言和文学教学界对开放获取出版的接受。此外，它还可能成为德国问题讨论会其他工作组的榜样。

The aim of the project is to convert the yearbook of the AG Medien in the Symposion Deutschdidaktik e.V. (SDD), which is released as print publication since 2002, into the Open Access Journal MiDU (Medien im Deutschunterricht / Media in German literature and language classes). Therefore, the basis is an Open Journal Systems (OJS) entity which will be established at the Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Köln in order to support other projects in digital publication in the future, too. The new E-Journal MiDU will be a forum with open and worldwide access for theoretical and empirical research in the field of German media didactics. This will allow the research contributions to be easily found and widly ranged and will also build a stronger interdisciplinary networking. What is more, the digital platform provides the preconditions for a more adequate representation of media as object of research, e.g. by integrating audio and video files into the journal’s articles. Hence, through MiDU a forum for experimental forms of multimodal academic writing will be introduced. The quality of the online journal will be warrented through a combination of a double-blind-review-system, an editorial review system and an open review system. MiDU is intended as a pilot project which aims to sustain and foster the acceptance of open access publishing in the professional community of German language and literature didactics. Furthermore, it might become a role model for other working groups in the Symposion Deutschdidaktik.
